The pier at Stromness in Orkney. The image shows the pier entering the lower left of the frame and curving around to the right. Numerous boats are moored to the pier, mostly facing the viewer. One of them is a lifeboat. In the background are two levels of land, a low island and a rather higher one beyond it. The sky is blue.

The pier at Stromness in Orkney, on the shore of Hamnavoe, an inlet of Scapa Flow. The background view is of the islands of Graemsay (at low level) and Hoy (at higher level). More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
